So theorange on the wiring harness is for the lighter shouldn't I be able to connect the yellow to that and it work

Not the best way to do it but yes that will work.

It will not affect anything correct

Ummmm, why would he run a 12v plug off of a radio circut?????

Is that wire pluged into anything on the original plugs?
Thats a universal adaper, its the same setup in my monte and my monte has a remote antenna, so mabey that wire is power for an antenna, which in this case would not be used.

 

[GunMan9]

I have no idea. This is how it was when I got the truck

No not that I know of

STOP!!! That orange wire you asked about.....For Pioneer radios that is for Illumination on the Pioneer radio which only matters on double din radios which yours is a single din. Keep that orange wire capped off as there's no use for it on your radio. Run the red wire to your ACC power and the yellow to your constant 12V power to keep memory.

So what exactly do I connect the red wire to on the harness and the yellow wire to so I don't mess this up

ACC power is basically the same as when your ignition switch is flipped back one notch where you can listen to the radio but the truck isn't on. ACC stands for Accessory power. I'll have to crawl under my dash to see what color that is on our trucks. I'm sure Retro or someone like that knows that off top of their head. For your yellow wire needs to go to your constant 12V power in order to keep your memory on the radio.

So I can't just simply wire it to another wire on the harness

no....that's a good way to fry your radio.

So I need to run the yellow to the fuse box?

 

[RetroC10Sport]

Yes. To the left side of the fuse box in the pic that 89S posted.

 

[GunMan9]

Do I just splice the wire and put it in there or is there and adaptor I have to get?

Yes. To the left side of the fuse box in the pic that 89S posted.

yes just don't use your orange wire on the harness like posted by 89Sub. Use your yellow wire.
